Also on the gestures front, you can now invoke macros directly. Mouse gestures have been updated to include ‘accept’ and ‘cancel’ to save you rooting around for the right click or UI-based options. Other small, but equally useful, updates include the ability to ‘Control+A’ select everything in both the feature and part PropertyManagers, as well as sketch elements.

While the 2011 release gave you the ability to span the entire user interface across multiple displays - though to beįrank, without that much control - for 2012, the controls are much more sophisticated. Feature Freeze allows the locking of specific features (typically early in the feature history) so they are not included in recalculation processesįor long time users of SolidWorks, the chances are you’re running multiple monitors.
